@AngelicaOung True on confucius tho too harsh. Tbf all religious figure has no reality experience. And their teachings not based on scientific reality. Mostly were fiction used to control people or at best to stabilize society.
@World_Data_A ? Vietnam is the most emerging asean right now. How could you leave it?
Infact outside China, Vietnam has the most potential to reach developed world.
@KHAMCHANH Eh, it depend if there is partion.
If no partion, mutual influence is normal after all the territory is not used to attack others. There will be multiple language.
@ChelseaTFC@PAstynome In China, the "exam culture" led to a saturation of private schools (sishu) and charitable schools (yixue), ensuring that even in rural villages, a significant portion of the male population had some schooling.
Abolishing this kill lit rate. Subsequent rebellion destroy system

If one really thinks deeply,
Modern China, the CPC Dynasty, is just the finishing delayed echo of the Song Dynasty.
Under the Song Dynasty, China was extremely close to achieving the Industrial Revolution first.
They were in a form of proto industrialization with coal use at scale, blast furnaces, and even some early factories to make paper, all governed and regulated under a powerful state.
One could argue that China is just finishing a path it was delayed from for 800 years primarily because of the Mongol invasion.
In that interpretation then, the real crime was the Mongol hordes destroying the Song dynasty, and not the endlessly repeated Century of Humiliation.
The Shanghai Municipal Health Commission states that the city treats municipal water to potable standards at the point of supply (see Chinese link below). But it still advises boiling water due to risks from building‑level pipes and storage tanks, not weakness in Shanghai’s core water infrastructure. I live in a 20yr‑old building myself, so I boil, although I have no idea if it's actually necessary. I guess I could get a test kit. Maybe that would be interesting.
But anyway, collapsing that into “You can't even drink the tap water in Shanghai” is a bad‑faith dunk in response to a claim about Shanghai’s public infrastructure. That shifts the goalposts from municipal systems to building-level distribution piping...which is not the same thing.
More broadly, SH is hardly unique in having potential issues with old distribution piping. What is unique is how explicit and conservative SH is in its public‑health guidance to households about it. The potential for downstream contamination of drinking water logically exists in any large city. Perhaps people elsewhere who drink water straight from the taps because municipal authorities say it's ok might want to consider how old the pipes in their buildings are...🙃

@lbvmag@XianyangCB "all of them fall within a broad range of northern East Asian ancestry, without significant external influence. This reinforces the idea that China was an independent center of neolithization, with its own population dynamics distinct from those of other regions of the world."
@lbvmag@XianyangCB "the transition from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic in northern East Asia did not resemble what happened in the Near East or in Europe.""This suggests that admixture with archaic hominins had already occurred earlier and had stabilized."
@136Division True For EastAsian (confucian circle). But that's not the case with white women. White women prefer big black muscular cok.
There's reason why there is saying 'once you go black, u can't go back'
